Tomorrow, research essays come due in my freshman comp class. About 18 students remain. The number of students who will have their folders ready to hand in at the beginning of class will be less than 10. Of those 10, the number of essays that will have the correct formatting and fulfill the conditions of the assignment will be, say, 7 or 8. Of those 7 or 8, the number of essays that will actually say something interesting will be 3 or 4.
The class has been a train wreck in the making for several weeks. Ain't nothing to do but stay off the tracks.
On the bright side, it may mean I have fewer essays to grade.
